Benefits of technology

The invention is a display system that makes life easier for aircrew when there are a lot of things to do and different systems to use. The system has pictures that represent different aspects of the flight, like parameters and controls. There are also shortcuts to different windows and options to input information. Overall, the system makes it easier for aircrew to quickly find what they need and take necessary actions.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a display system does not give entire satisfaction.
Indeed, there remains a large number of operational situations in which the crews have to move on with a plurality of control or verification actions which have to be carried out on dispersed windows and / or screens through the display system.

Embodiment Construction

[0059]A first display system 10 according to the invention is illustrated by FIG. 1. This system 10 is intended to be placed in the cockpit 12 of an aircraft, in order to allow the crew of the aircraft to pilot the aircraft, to handle its navigation, to monitor and control the different functional systems present in the aircraft.

[0060]The aircraft is provided with an avionics central control unit 14. The unit 14 is connected to systems 16 of measurement sensors on the aircraft, to outer communication systems 18, and to systems 20 for actuating the controls of the aircraft.

[0061]The measurement systems 16 for example include sensors 22 for measuring exterior parameters of the aircraft, such as the temperature, the pressure or the speed, sensors 24 for measuring internal parameters of the aircraft, and of its different functional systems and positioning sensors 26, such as GPS sensors, inertial units, and / or an altimeter.

[0062]The outer communications systems 18 for example include VO...

Abstract

The system includes additional display means including at least one additional screen and additional graphic interface handling means of the additional screen (able to display on the additional screen, a summary window depending on the operational state of the aircraft. The summary window comprises at least one first pictogram able to be displayed on a first display window of main display means of the aircraft without being displayed on the second window of the main display means, and at least one second pictogram intended to be displayed on the second display window of the main display means without being displayed on the first window of the main display means.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a display system for an aircraft comprising main display means including:[0003]at least one basic screen, and[0004]means for handling the graphical interface of said or each basic screen, the handling means being able to display separately on the main display means at least one first display window and at least one second display window, each display window displaying at least one pictogram representative of a parameter and / or of a control of the aircraft.[0005]2. Description of the Related Art[0006]Such a display system is intended to be placed in the cockpit of an aircraft for assisting the crew of the aircraft with the handling and flying of the aircraft.[0007]In a known way, the display systems present in the cockpit of aircraft comprise screens for displaying flight parameters, such as the altitude, the horizontal situation, the air speed, the vertical speed, the corrected air speed...
